Hello there? Enjoying this? Yes? Good. So am I! Here's the next chapter.
Still not owning anything mind....
Why Does It Always...
And of course as soon as I said those fated words what happened? It rained. Not just mild slight drizzle, but the whole here is a nice little flood for you to sit in the middle of a forest in, oh and have some thunder and lightening while you're at it too. Cheers whoever came up with that. Bastards.
I shook my fist at the heavens as the downpour continued. I didn't know whether anyone was up there, but after I did the rain, already the heaviest I had ever experienced, got heavier. Someone really doesn't like me.
The only benefit was that I wasn't suffering alone. Veborion was also drenched and he did not look happy about it.
"This is all your fault!" He moaned.
"My fault?" I answered. "How the hell did you come to that conclusion?"
"You brought this on me!"
"Oh yeah - like I really wanted to get soaked to the skin just to get back at you." I said sarcastically. "As if my day couldn't get any worse. First I end up in Middle Earth and wreck my ankle. Then I almost get eaten by a giant spider. Then when I escape it, you put an arrow to my neck. Then I find out that the bloke I've drooled over for months is actually a woman. Then I get thrown in the dungeons. Then I risk my life in escaping, but am recaptured by you and THEN to top it all off I'm taken back to the forest to be eaten by the spiders, who happen to be late! Of course I'm going to wish for torrential rain. I mean it's not as if I haven't suffered enough today now is it?!"
Veborion glared at me. "You said things could not get any worse. You should have known better."
"Oh shut up. You think I'm enjoying this? Look, for me things couldn't get any worse. I'm spending my last few moments on this planet with YOU of all creatures! Why the fuck did this seem like a good idea at the time?"
Veborion didn't think my speech was worthy for an answer, so we continued to sit in silence as the rain got heavier and the spiders still didn't appear.

"Question." I asked after yet another hour of waiting for the spiders.
Veborion looked up, for the past half an hour he had been muttering to himself. I guessed he'd been muttering Elvish curses, but not speaking the language meant I couldn't be sure. For all I knew he could be reciting his times-tables backwards for the fun of it.
"Is there any chance that the spiders would go to the wedding?" I said raising an eyebrow.
Veborion pondered this for a moment before marching over to me and grabbing my arm, hauling me to my feet and dragging me back in the direction of the Palace.
"That a 'yes' then?" I grinned at his facial expression and hoped that my reception back at the palace would be warmer than my first. Well, at least there were no more dungeons to be thrown in, I mused. Things are looking up!
Idiot.
